Unfortunately, the plan went wrong, which led to The
Kelly Gang holing up in the Glenrowan Inn, where it
is believed that the gang got drunk. The police surrounded
the Inn and laid siege to it. The Kellys had made armour
for themselves which covered their heads and torsos, but
left their limbs exposed. The police brought Ned down
by shooting him in the legs. He was hanged for his crimes
in Melbourne Gaol, November 11, 1880.
